The Fastest Growing Religion In America Is Islam

Do you know what the fastest growing religion in America is? It isn’t Christianity. According to the latest U.S. Religion Census that was
just released on May 1, 2012, the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The data for the census was compiled by the Association of
Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, and the results were released by the Association of Religion Data Archives. From the year 2000 to the
year 2010, the census found that the number of Muslims living inside the United States increased from 1 million to 2.6 million – a stunning increase
of 66.7 percent.

Things should get interesting down the road because a we all know, America is the most Christian of Christian nations and the 'clash of
civilizations' if you will could be more violent here than in Europe. The rise of the far right in Europe is interesting... how will America react?
How will you?

The worrying thing is, some 85% of the world’s mosques are financed by Saudi Wahabbi hardliners.

While it would be wrong to say that all Wahhbis are terrorists, it would be accurate to state that almost all Islamic terrorists are Wahhabi.

Basically, it is people who either directly support terrorism or at least have sympathy for Islamic terrorism who are likley funding that new
expensive mosque being built near you.

Of the more than 1,200 mosques in America, more than 80-percent were built with Saudi money, according to author Reza F. Safa.

In fact, Safa writes that the Saudis have spent “$87 billion since 1973 to spread Islam throughout the United States and the Western hemisphere.”
Elsewhere in the world, it is believed that Saudi Arabia finances some 85-percent of the world’s mosques, where the vitriolic and violent Wahabbist
interpretation of Islam is taught.

Well, this article clearly is exaggerating.. "Stunning increase"? 2.6 million out of 300+ million? That's basically, well, less than 1% of America.
And seriously? 1 million to 2 million, over 10 years is stunning?

Well of course this is going to happen, the majority of religion followers in the US are Christian and it is an established religion with what one
would expect a steady numbering not being grown due to a lack of Christian immigrants.

Islam on the other hand is a minority religion in the US with a smaller following so even if the influx of immigrants was of equal denominations
between christian and muslims the percentage growth of muslims would be larger...

If it comes down to a European style "get them outta here" then yes, it would be violent. This is America, a heavily armed country with a lot of
over zealous people.

I should however point out, some things that would throw those numbers off a bit. For example, half of the black population of Philly, probably would
call themselves muslims, whether they are or not, as it is the "cool" thing to be in Philly. A good deal of American Muslims, are less inclined to
the wahhabi ideology, which is a skewing, money making ideology, bent on whatever is most profitable.

Keeping all of us under the watchful eye, and counting us, and tying to understand our mind frames based on our religious title, is what is gonna lead
to an ugly future.

A for the "halal foods" problem in your post; do most, if not all supermarkets, not carry kosher products? Are muslims not supposed to secure jobs?
Should I just anticipate being fired because we aren't people and should remain poor?

No just pointing the fuel why Islam is growing, must come from somewhere

Not all Christians will convert. Not all are expected to. That's not the point of Islam. Though the Saudi pimps make it seem that way, it's pretty
clear cut to people who've spent years studying the Qur'an.

What people don't seem to grasp yet, is that the "infidel" (only using that term because it seems to be an ATS favorite) was only the atheist, and
the idol worshipper. Islam never had a gripe with Christians, or Jews.

-After a casual debate about religion(mostly involving conquering lands), i asked "why did they need to invade others? why couldnt they keep their
own religion"(we were discussing about the past in the middle east). He said "how do you suppose to conquer then?.. I looked at one of my other
classmate and the convo just ended there.

Note* he was not a muslim that grew up in a muslim country and just came over, he was born and raised here.

Well I don't understand this at all. I study all theology and every scrap of ancient and modern philosophy I can get my hands on...(an attempt to
understand the motivations of the human condition) and I don't get these retro-active throw backs to an age of darkness and ignorance.

Please don't misunderstand me. I believe people need to believe in whatever they need to. If it makes them kinder and more compassionate toward
their fellow man...then...by all means....believe away. I just don't share that. I DO believe in a Universal mind, but I don't think it is
something that a group of mortal humans can describe, comprehend and speak for...but that is just my opinion. I hope one day we will realize that
somewhere within the texts of ALL theology....lies the truth. There is truth in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism and Buddhism. They
all have ancient wisdom wrapped up in their texts....it is NOT WRONG to contemplate them all...and maybe...in there somewhere...lies the real
truth....
